TAF1

TAF130, TAF145, KAT4, TafII145, TafII130, L000002748, YGR274C
TFIID subunit, involved in RNA pol II transcription initiation; possesses in vitro histone acetyltransferase activity but its role in vivo appears to be minor; involved in promoter binding and G1/S progression; relocalizes to the cytosol in response to hypoxia
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

OPT2

YPR194C
Oligopeptide transporter; localized to peroxisomes and affects glutathione redox homeostasis; also localizes to the plasma membrane (PM) and to the late Golgi, and has a role in maintenance of lipid asymmetry between the inner and outer leaflets of the PM; member of the OPT family, with potential orthologs in S. pombe and C. albicans; also plays a role in formation of mature vacuoles and in polarized cell growth
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

Synthetic Lethality

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutations or deletions in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, result in lethality when combined in the same cell under a given condition.

The concept of synthetic lethality has gained popularity as a rational guide for predicting chemotherapeutic targets based on negative genetic interactions between tumor-specific somatic mutations and a second-site target gene. One hallmark of most cancers that can be exploited by chemotherapies is chromosome instability (CIN). Because chromosome replication, maintenance, and segregation represent conserved and cell-essential processes, they can be modeled ... [more]
